Accidental Art
I found this on my phone. I'm not sure what it is, but it's actually kind of awesome. Accidental Art. |
We find beauty in the unplanned and unexpected. Contriving beauty is deceptively difficult. I'm a terrible amateur painter and struggle to write fiction. But we find beauty in patterns of light and shadow, clouds, rain, the surface of a pond. It's difficult to exceed the beauty found in the natural world, that formed from weather, the sun, vegetation, the fundamental laws of nature. I think contrived beauty is more difficult because to achieve it, you are struggling against natural forces. The artist is a salmon, swimming upstream against the current for hundreds of miles, to bring forth new life.
